So are they already rebooting the franchise? Or just going with a prequel?
The retroactive continuity is messing with my mind.
Gwen Stacy was killed off in the original version of the Green Goblin story adapted in the first Spider-Man movie.
And the movie Peter Parker isn't the glasses wearing nerd that the comic book version was.
Might as well make Aunt May black this time around.
The original 3 weren’t owned by Marvel’s movie group (because it didn’t exist yet). The new set is entirely under Marvel. Because of Hollywood weirdness Marvel would have to get clearance from Sony to continue that story. So it’s reboot time, this will also give them a chance to fold it into the Marvel movie universe they’re making.
